The swap shouldn't be a problem at all. If both exhausts are clamped and not welded, the only thing you'll really need to remove is the over the axle pipe and back. He may have cut his i-pipe because of the mac mids and the new y-pipe he had to use, but I don't expect there is much difference in the i-pipe designs of both systems.

Shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes once the cars are up in the air. There may need to be some fine adjustments to make, like tailpipe position, but that's it.

I just installed Flowtech LT's and ORY on my car thursday with the LM. I get a call from my landlord this mourning Christmas eve at that saying we have had complaints. The headers have been on 3 days Theres this old f***** that lives across the street who is the neighborhood rat. So I guess I'll be spending my christmas money on a Hooker catback as well. I did hammer on it leaving my driveway today on the way to work in front of that old dudes house. Just to let him know what's up The swap shouldn't be a problem though.
